How do you pick a pocket-friendly gravel bike? What should you look out for and what key features can you expect if you’re spending around £1,000?

Senior road technical editor Warren Rossiter has recently completed a test of budget gravel bikes and in this episode of the BikeRadar Podcast, he and Tom Marvin discuss the entry-level gravel bike market.

They cover the components you’re likely to find and the types of bikes available at this price point, as well as running through the four bikes in Warren’s recent test.

We'll be publishing those reviews in the coming weeks, so look out for Warren's verdict on the Merida Silex 200, Marin Gestalt X10, Saracen Levarg and State 6061 Black Label.
